White Thugs and Wiggery

Do you think any one of us should go dark?

'Toids (factoids, that is...)

1. I shorten words all the time...even at the cost of confusing my listener.
2. During those formative years of my childhood ('85-'95ish), the Minivan was all the rage! Fortunately, we McIntyre's were no slaves to the trend of the moment. My parents lucked up on a gently used VW bus to cart us around in. So cool. Did I mention it was two-toned orange/peach colored? Cause it was.
3. I put tiny camera scopes down sick people's noses for a living.
4. I love a good duet. Preferably male/female with some good harmony flowin. Kenny/Dolly's Islands in the Stream would be a perfect example of this.
5. I love things in miniature. My favorite are those 6 oz mini Coke cans.
6. I once dreamed a cupcake was coming out of my head and have had a love affair with them every since. I just love cupcakes...especially if they are mini cupcakes.
7. I have been pulled over more times than I can count...and my boyfriend happens to be a police officer. Rather ironic, huh?

seven

1. I like to impersonate Peabo Bryson and Vestal Goodman.
2. When I was young I thought I was really good at yodeling.
3. My initials are spelled out in the veins in my wrists.
4. My favorite childhood activity was playing Rock Star, which typically included me, a mini trampoline (stage), a baton (microphone), and a Whitney Houston cassette.
5. My first on-stage performance was in a second grade Christmas play. I was a french girl, complete with beret. My big line was, "Ooh la la, Santa. I can't wait til I tell you." Then I broke into a song about having Christmas on the Isthmus of Panama.
6. I have been in a step show . In Thailand.
7. I almost wet my bed at the age of 21.
   

We were tagged....

Our friends the Westmorelands tagged us to list 7 fun/random/weird facts about each of us. I'll start, but can't promise the others will follow in suit, maybe they will. : )

1. Not my favorite song in the world, but I thoroughly enjoy the cheesy Rupert Holmes song "Escape". You know, the "Do you like pina coladas? And getting caught in the rain?...." song.
2. When I was a child I liked to play with a calculator and would play bank. I would ride my bike through the bank drive-thru (carport) and use the dryer vent as the little suction contraption. How fitting, now that I get to use a calculator nearly everyday and go to the bank a lot for a living.
3. I strongly dislike bananas, but enjoy banana nut bread....weird, I know. I'm a weirdo when it comes to fruit in general.
4. This year has had a lot of "new" or "first" for me. I've been a caretaker to my very own first pet, my cute Mr. Handsome Buddy. I went to England, Scotland and the Kentucky Derby for the first time. I chose to change my diet to a wheat free diet. I've watched my parents sell our family business that they had since I was an infant and move on to different endeavors. Many new friends in all walks of life. Hopefully still more new/first to come in these last few months...especially the one I've been waiting for this whole year, practically life.
5. I really enjoy crafts and wish I had a room at my house known as "The Craft Room". I didn't really become crafty till after college when my mom taught me how to sew. At that point my crafty juices started flowing, or you could say this person really rubbed off on me. I really enjoy sewing, painting, decorating and thinking of new, unique ways I can make gifts/things, dressing something up, etc. I tend to want everything to look aesthetically pleasing.
6. I have lots of nicknames....Jess, Jessie, JHill, Jill, Keeks, Kiki, Jessica Sue and Yacka. Different people in my life call me by these names.
7. Over the past 10 years, at some point I've lived with 16 different people.

So, there you go, now I tag The Forbuses, Mom, The Medina's, Shana, The Crowe's, Ginny (soon-to-be Mrs. Smith) and The Mure's...sorry, if you have already been tagged. Now, you have to tell us 7 fun/random facts about yourselves and then tag 7 other people and leave them a comment to let them know.

Dear Esmeralda,

We regret to inform you that as of today, October 10, 2008, you are relieved of your duties as housekeeper of the Hill/McIntyre/Hannah residence. You haven't cleaned Amanda's room in months, you have failed to pick out our daily outfits (not to mention laundered and ironed them), and we haven't had a decent pancake for breakfast in weeks. This is unacceptable.

Sincerely,
TheParty'sOverHere

Spotted....

(Beware, a little PG rating material)

Below is the actual email correspondence between the Party Girls right after this happened today, I believe it gives the best interpretation of it all....

Jess: Spotted...Yes, I believe Cyndi and I rode the elevator up in our bldg after lunch with a stripper or possibly stripper shim who has a job on floor ??..... Gossip girl....xoxo

Mandie: What?!

Lynds: no way do tell what he/she/it looked like?

Jess: Well.... Cyndi and I got on the elevator and these 2 other ladies (or 1 lady, 1 it) got on behind us.... one lady works in the bldg and I see her all the time, she was carrying a small cd player and holding a cd.The other "it" I took a gander at as the 4 of us were squeezed into this elevator and I started at the feet, clear shoes...ick, nice legs...jealous, short dress...whoa, wow... mammoth plastic balls on her chest, noticed her bra strap or something peeking out top of dress and it didn't match, long bleach blonde hair, lots of make-up, very pouty lips and other work done to the face, very strong features on the face, semi-deep voice(definitely almost baritone)...and I hear "it" ask, "does he know anything about this?" as the regular lady proceeds to tell her the plan on delivering this special package to ???....the lightbulb then went off.

As I got off the elevator, I couldn't hurry fast enough to get out of the view of windows and look back at Cyndi as the elevator door was closing... finally, I looked at Cyndi and said "Was that what I thought it was?" she agreed 1) a stripper and 2) a possible "shim".....

So, the more I've thought about this, I would describe this "it" as a possible present-day Daryl Hannah look-a-like (you know after she has had her work done on her face). A little something similar to this, just different clothing....
